All creative possibilities are within you,
All the beauty and pain in the world is within you.
All the worlds of the universe are within you.
No pain, no experience, no love, no knowledge, no thought is outside of you.
To look at an aspect of our experience,
and to repeat to one’s self any thought that assumes”This is real” makes it persist in its form.
To act from any thought that assumes “This is real” makes it persist in its form.
But not a thing here,
Not a thing that can ever be known,
is ultimately of any substance. Nothing persists forever.
And so,
to begin to know the one and only thing that persists forever,
repeat to oneself, and act from,
“Not a consequence, thought, experience, object, sensation – nothing can affect my true Self.”
It is all mind. It is all your mind, my mind, our mind – tossing around personal worlds that do not fundamentally exist.
We share things with eachother – and we believe that each of us is sharing and recieving something real and necessary.
This is the energy that upkeeps the personal illusion of division.
Nothing is real.

We all want Love.
Ask a man on the street, any man or woman – and of course, everyone will say “Yes.”
So it is not for lack of want that there is so little love in the world.
It is for lack of living truth.
From man to man, and woman to woman,
there is a great variety in one’s capacity of power and love,
From the common man to the saint.
An individual’s life is formed around their desires. We must realize that all desires in their simplest form are desire for one thing – the Supreme source.
Once we realize this, we can refine all our habitual desires, aiming them towards the source – God – the blissful Self of our heart – the Here and Now.
Then we do not need more manufactured thoughts in form of books, newspapers, self-help or psychiatry,
No need for any manufactured sensations in relationships, friendships or aspirins,
No need for anything – no talks, no listeners, no entertainment,
These things pale in substitution for the true Self – the Supreme source.
All things beautifully and endlessly spawning out of creation,
No matter how much you dwell on them, none of them will persist.
Living truth is what’s truly wanted.
Realize that who you are is not dependent on the forms that could appear – no thought, experience, object, sensation. No thing lasts. And therefore no thing is of any ultimate consequence. No extreme pain, no extreme joy, no army of enemies, no enormous problem, nor extreme boredom – No thing.
If this aligns with your understanding, then dive deep and experience the true Self. Meditate on the feeling in the inner body, and maintain that awareness. It will deepen into true & constant knowingness of the Self.
Perform this meditation immediately to serve as an experiential pointer for what is meant by inner body:

“…mathematics can often be thought of as another method of describing and of discovering new descriptions. I kind of think that there really is a reality out there and we just keep on bumping into it, it bumps into us, we talk about it and try to describe it, we keep finding out that the descriptions are wrong, i.e. our ideas of it are only true in our minds and need attention and modification periodically. Especially exciting are the relationships that seem to exist and which we can use with our imperfect understandings to actually predict some of the future. In spite of all this we also lie to ourselves and therefore to others and tend to fuck up in spite of our “Knowledge”. I don’t see us living perfect honesty and truth any time soon.”
“All of this which I just wrote is bullshit. It is just another description. And I believe it nevertheless! I live in it; it lives in me, but I’m not honest enough and attentive enough to be at one with it.”
